Total nerd! <br /><br />Changing trains can be such a pain and takes so long. By the time you've got off a train, walked along a platform, up the escalator, along a corridor, down another escalator, along another corridor, down another escalator, along the platform and on the train I'm beginning to think it would have been quicker to have walked. We need more information before starting a journey. Which is deepest in central London: Bakerloo, Northern, Metropolitan, Piccadilly or Jubilee?<br /><br />:(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-46505343771618234462008-04-06T18:22:00.000+01:002008-04-06T18:22:00.000+01:00DL made a good point.

Not all of the stations are the same level so counting the steps will not work, unless you can relate them to a starting height.<BR/><BR/>Google Earth provides you with the lat, long and elevation for the surface entrances for the stations though, so you could use that. For example, BlackFriars exit 8 is at 51'30'40.00N, 0'06'15.83E and is 14m above sea level. <BR/><BR/>Given the inaccuracy of hand held GPS units in terms of elevation, and also the time it would take someone to survey each of these in, I don't believe these would be practical.<BR/><BR/>I love what you are trying to do. I'll start counting next time I am on the tube...<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>Chris ReardonChrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18218603339423154179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-83907130410774743472008-01-25T16:09:00.000+00:002008-01-25T16:09:00.000+00:00can i just add that the ground level at each stati...can i just add that the ground level at each station isn't the same (wrt sea level), so counting the number of steps won't give the most accurate result for your model.<BR/><BR/>I like what you're doing here, is there a higher res version of this i can get hold of?DLwww.flickr.com/photos/other-dukenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-79122237139468437202007-06-14T16:45:00.000+01:002007-06-14T16:45:00.000+01:00Does anyone have a list of the lat/lon coordinates...Does anyone have a list of the lat/lon coordinates of each Tube station, both above and below ground? I'd like to create an animation showing the amount of spatial deformation necessary to take all the stations from their real location to where they are positioned in the London Underground map.Welshman46http://www.blogger.com/profile/04000544951686125509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-1140661807878125022006-02-23T02:30:00.000+00:002006-02-23T02:30:00.000+00:00Queensway (which is currently closed) is 123 steps...Queensway (which is currently closed) is 123 steps down (I've run it up quite a few times, rather than wait for the lifts!).
